Such and Such are.....

Alexandra Fiddes

Caroline Cloughley

Charlotte Hannett

Caroline, Alex and Charlie are all makers of contemporary jewellery. Their work (lucky for us!) compliments each others due to the theme of nature running throughout. Caroline uses real butterfly wings and unnerving "little people" to create jewellery with a rich internal narrative that stems from her fear of the much adored insects. Alex's bud-like structures are hand forged oxidised and raised then mixed with dyed felt and thread, forming organic pieces which seem to have been grown in an underwater garden! Charlie's jewellery is inspired by her home town of Islay. In her evocative pieces you will find pearly moons, silver waves and boxing hares.

We have some fabulous vendors lined up for this Sundays Magpie Market.....


Plastic Bat - kitsch jewellery & accessories

The Jazz Emporium - an curated collection of vintage, retro and re-worked clothing & accessories.

Foiled

In homage to the humble Teacake, Nikki McWilliams presents a collection of drawings and sculpture in tribute to the humble tea-time treat, a family business and scottish culture.

Opening night 7th September 6.30 - 8.30pm....you coming?

Magpie vendor lists will be revealed shortly....there's only just over a week to go! If you want to help spread the word we could do with some help flyering both before the event and on the day. We pay in tea, coffee and cake. Drop us a line if you want to help out, or pop into The Spider and The Fly! 

Apologies and Opportunities....

So, you may have noticed there's been a slight delay in notifying applicants about the next Magpie Market? Time issues, difficult decisions and now computer issues have all played a part. We have now whittled it down to a fine selection of vendors....who will all be notified when I can access the correct files. I really hope it's just a glitch and that it will all be fine tomorrow (fingers crossed). The wait will be worth it I promise! 


Anyway...on to the opportunities...


We're going to give away some early bird goody bags to the first 50 shoppers through the door. 

We would love you to contribute a little something - a badge, tutorial, zine. Something fun, something that shows people who you are and what you do....something a little more exciting than your business card! You can contribute any amount of things from 1-50.

If you'd like to contribute email magpiemarket@gmail.com for more information! All submissions should be received by 8th September. 


We will also be running a bunting (and other things that hang) making workshop on Tuesday 7th September from 6.30....Come down to The Spider and The Fly and help us create some fabulous bunting (and other things). We'll provide the tea and biscuits just drop by! 

Magpie Market returns....

Magpie Market will run alongside Sunday Brunch at The LOT, which will see fabulous live music and brunch served in the café.
